Really enjoying the latest from Fleet Foxes and Cut Copy. Peter, Bjorn and John growing on me. Never expected Cut Copy to sound so much like the Talking Heads in 1984, but they do that a little deeper into the album. The first track took me a while to soften to, but the music video helped.

Yeah, the new Emmy the Great album is really lovely and will be vying with the Marissa Nadler album for the attnetions of the part of me that likes beautiful women who sing beautiful folk music (coincidentally both albums were also crowd funded, which I thought was an interesting way to do things).

At the moment though I'm listening to SMOD's self titled album. It's a truly horrible band name but if the sound of Malian acoustic guitar based hip hop sounds intruiging to you then I thoroughly reccommend checking it out. It certainly sounds like a great, summery, feel good album but my French isn't good enough to know if the lyrics reflect this!
